THE VACANT JUDGEsHIP.
The Presidents Decision as Explained by n
DIsinterested OfIIcIal.


WASHINGTON, June IA prominent
official, entirely disinterested, who has
talked with the President in regard TO the
vacancy in the United States Supreme
Court, caused by the death of Justice
Wood, in an interview with n representa-
tive of the Associated Press, says that
while the President has decided TO give
the place to the South, he is satisfied there
is nothing in the Constitution, the law, or
the precedentS which confines the selection
of the appOintee to the States included in
the circuit TO which the deceased Judge
was assigned.
The official explained that while Con
gress fixes the boundaries of the judicial
circuits, the Court itself makes the as
signment of judges and it has frequently
happened that a judge appointed from one
State is assigned to circuit in an entirely
different section of the country, and also,
that when vacancy has occurred i'll any
particular circuit it has been frequently
filled by an appointment from State al
together outside of its jurisdiction.
